About this property

Shenandoah Solitude in the Blue Ridge mountains

Welcome to the enchanting Shenandoah Solitude, a picturesque retreat nestled amidst the majestic peaks and lush forests of the Blue Ridge mountain range.

This cozy and spacious cabin is the perfect destination for your group to experience a rejuvenating escape, where adventure and relaxation harmoniously blend together. While large enough for a group of 8, Shenandoah Solitude is cozy enough to make smaller groups feel warm and comfortable.

The cabin offers 3 private bedrooms, 2 full baths, modern amenities, a paved driveway, a hot tub, and much, much more!

2 king beds, 1 queen bed, and a full-sized sleeper sofa will comfortably sleep 6, and we have additional bedding for a max of 8. The kitchen offers modern fixtures and ample space with an oven, refrigerator, and microwave.

If you'd rather cook outside, we've got you covered with both gas and charcoal grills. While you're out there, you can play a game of horseshoes in the professional horseshoe pit or challenge each other to a game of cornhole (available in the summer months)!

At night, sit with your friends or loved ones in the hot tub while looking out at the lights of the valley or stars above. On rainy days, there is still plenty to do inside. Watch Smart TVs with satellite channels, play board games, read books from the cabin's book library, challenge your friends to a game of foosball, or hang out around the fireplace. There is a landline phone with free local and long-distance calls. A new high-speed Wi-Fi has just been installed. Feel free to stream music or watch movies during your stay!

Enjoy stunning mountain views and sunrises from the covered decks. Soak in the indoor jacuzzi or the large outdoor hot tub! Make a huge campfire and tell stories with your friends late into the evening hours!

PLEASE NOTE: During winter months, a four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle is required.

Pets are welcome! 2 dogs maximum. There is a weight limit of 50 lbs or less per dog. No cats allowed, sorry!

A separate security deposit is required for this property. Please feel free to ask us if you have any questions—we are happy to answer them!

Nice Home in the Mountains

The house was very clean, and the view was nice. The host was communicative and responsive, which we really appreciated. During our stay, the hot tub did not work which was disappointing but the host was quick to respond and ultimately provided some compensation for the inconvenience. A few things that may be helpful to know - the fireplace did not always turn on since it was on a thermestat (the temp in the room had to be pretty cold for it to ignite), the third bedroom is the basement/bottom floor, and the roads leading up to the house are a bit treacherous. These were not issues for us, but may be helpful to know.

Shenandoah Solitude Lives Up to the Name

My husband and I booked this for a weekend retreat away without our littles. Out in the middle of nowhere, we were surrounded by forest, wildlife, and complete quiet. We enjoyed seeing sooo many stars in the sky from the warmth of the hot tub on a cold Winter's night. We enjoyed quiet reading with HOT coffee (a luxury when a mom of littles), while enjoying the scenic mountainscape from the giant east-facing window. As recommended in the listing, AWD or 4x4 is definitely necessary if it's anticipated to be muddy or snowy. The accommodation was well appointed, with a binder full of helpful information and things to do. We enjoyed the fire pit, foosball table, and cards. The Smart TV was clutch on a playoff football weekend. We left feeling incredibly connected, refreshed, relaxed, and even a little sad to go. We will definitely be back!

Breathtaking views and a relaxing environment

The grill was stocked with propane, and the fire pit had firewood—snacks and coffee in the kitchen, with soft, comfortable beds. The living room had games, movies, and a selection of TV subscriptions. The kitchen had a fridge, stove, microwave, and all the dishes needed to cook and serve a delicious meal. The above made it so we just needed to bring ourselves and a little food.

Surprisingly clean

I mean I don't wanna make it sound like I expected it to be dirty, but I expected it to be cobwebby and buggy; it's a mountain, not a lab. But you can look at the ceiling beams, the top of the A-frame... spotless. Even the exterior lights. Made me not want to go home and face my own mess.

Perfect

Woukdnt have changed a thing. The cabin was very clearly well taken care of. I loved that everything was labeled (light switches, controls, etc..) the view is what you see in movies and it's so quiet and peaceful. My husband and I go away to a cabin every year for our anniversary and this is by far the best. We normally like to go somewhere different every year but we already decided wed be back to the shenandoah solitude.

Best place we have rented yet

This house was amazing. From the views, the sunrises over Shenandoah National park while enjoying coffee, relaxing in the hottub after a day of hiking, or just sitting by the firepit looking down on the valley or up at the stars while my wife made smores. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. We made breakfast every morning and cooked dinner twice with no issues or struggles. We actually preferred to hang out at the house vs going out. The road to get to it is dirt/gravel and has some steep areas

Shenandoah Solitude- Our Anniversary

I am so happy that after hours of scrolling, searching, reading reviews, we ultimately chose Shenandoah Solitude. Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. We are so happy we picked this place for our 1 year wedding anniversary. The views were amazing and peaceful. The wind-chime on the deck was my personal favorite touch as it provided such a sense of peace and tranquility. It was wonderful waking up to that beautiful view from the loft bedroom. Shenandoah Solitude truly felt like home as soon as we walked in the doors as they provided everything we needed. The only thing we needed to purchase was some food to cook. Our trip to Luray was truly magical and we will for sure be coming back to explore more of its beauty. We are already in the talks of planning a family trip and staying once again at Shenandoah Solitude.

PERFECT Shenandoah stay!

I can't say enough great things about this beautiful cabin. I've already recommended it to several people. The owners provide a comprehensive binder guide for guests, which I found incredibly helpful. Everything was thoughtfully designed, from the mult-tiered decking area to the decor inside. You'll be surrounded by a peaceful viewing experience day and night. Be prepared that this is in the mountains, so you will have to drive a bumpy uphill road to get there, but I promise it is worth it! You also might see a few bugs inside, but this is a part of being in nature. I never found it bothersome. The place is clean. All three beds were comfy and the loft area was really cute. My son loved staying up there. For context, it was very hot outside during our stay, so it got a bit warm inside in the living area and loft during the day despite the A/C, but the ceiling fans helped a lot. Grocery stores are about a 10-minute drive away for convenience. The grill and firepit area were perfect for a cookout and s'mores. The Luray Caverns and Rescue Zoo are about 15 minutes away, making it a fantastic location for doing the fun, touristy stuff in the area. We went to Shenandoah one day and the Caverns on another. Coming back to this relaxing oasis after a long day of activity in the heat was SO nice. It was really hot for the hot tub during our visit, but we did get in at night, which was added relaxation. I highly recommend staying here for some true R&R. I can't wait to come back in the Fall! I also recommend going to Flotzies and Jess' Main Street Bar and Grill!

What a View!

Wonderful views! Peaceful, nature surrounded, nicely appointed, clean, comfortable, and super cozy cabin. Easy communication with the property management company. Community road leading to the cabin is unpaved and steep at times so 4x4 highly recommended. Downtown Luray is nearby with a couple of restaurants and a brewery, grocery stores close by, and the entrance to the Shenandoah park is within 10-15 minutes drive! Perfect location.

The Perfect Romantic Getaway

My wife and I had to cancel some other travel plans we had due to some unexpected time restraints. We had less than a week, but wanted to find somewhere to enjoy a quick getaway... that's when we found Solitude. It checked off all of our boxes: cabin on a mountainside, hot tub, swing, grill, fire pit, view, & charm. This cabin has all of these in spades. There were also all the small & more pragmatic things that made the stay very easy: kitchen gadgets, multiple coffee options, that citronella candle outside, grill tools, etc. We arrived with our 'basics' and found that if we had forgotten anything, the homeowners had thought of it. While this was more a getaway for my wife and I, we have decided we will be bringing back our kiddos with us next time as there was ample space to accommodate everyone between the 3 bedroom--though Mom & Dad get dibs on the loft bedroom with the sunrise view. :) Thank you for the great experience... highly recommend this cabin and we'll be coming back again!
